Hi,
I want to make an animation where I can set the observer above and behind (looking down) a target (imported SketchUp model) moving along a predefined flight path / route. Can this be done and what is the best method? Tried some of the functions with ArcScence Animation toolset, but I don't think I was selecting or setting the correct options.
Mapping Center Answer:
Take a look at the Animation help topics, in particular, the highlighted one below. Here is the direct link to the "About moving the camera or view along a path" topic.

If these don't provide you enough info or you still cannot get this to work, let's try to get some more info (data and exact scenario) from you to see what is happening. You can write us in another Ask a Cartographer question if you need to do this.

Followed instructions and I don’t see any animation on screen. Have tried varying time interval for play back, etc. but still not seeing anything.
I can send data if an email address can be supplied.
